Grachev Worth Watching

Rory Boylen at The Hockey News gives a list of players who caught his eye during the recent World Junior Championships including Rangers prospect Evgeni Grachev, who Boylen says, has tremendous power and uses it to his advantage...

"Grachev looked like a man playing among boys and steamrolled a number of outmatched opponents on his way to five points in seven games and a plus-3 rating."

...while I don't want to get to crazy over a prospect before he plays a single NHL game. The early returns on Grachev are outstanding.
